While telecom giants spend years getting permission to build new towers, ordinary people are already building the internet faster and cheaper. The contrast is striking. A single small cell tower installation can cost up to $300,000, while a complete macro cell tower installation can cost millions of dollars. With decentralized physical infrastructure networks — otherwise known as DePINs for short — the cost to add a new connectivity point is effectively zero, as it uses software to…

Opinion: Daniel Taylor, Head of Policy, ZumoIt’s been five years since we first heard about the UK being a global crypto hub, and the UK has received its fair share of criticism for its crypto strategy. With a constantly delayed regulatory framework, declining business support and growing public criticism of overzealous and insidious ‘positive friction’, British consumers are being left out in the cold when compared to international consumers in both product access and product choice.Meanwhile, those in positions of influence have repeatedly and complacently ignored crypto trends while failing to implement a framework of protection beyond risk warnings.The word…

Currently, stablecoins already move real money and underpin the majority of on-chain payments. McKinsey puts the daily trading volume of stablecoins at around $30 billion, but even if that number is close to reality, calling stablecoins “experimental” is foolish. Still, mass adoption has yet to materialize. summary Stablecoins are not blocked by regulation, they are blocked by liability. Companies won’t adopt payments if they don’t have clear responsibility for errors, disputes, and compliance. The real scaling bottleneck…

The crypto boom is undergoing its first true stress test. After a year of frenzy, shares of several crypto treasury vehicles are now trading below the value of their respective holdings. summary The buy-and-hold DAT model is collapsing. Declining mNAV indicates that the market is no longer rewarding passive accumulation and hype-driven financial strategies. To survive, you need productive capital, not idle assets. A successful crypto government must acquire equity, operate infrastructure, provide liquidity, and turn its…

newYou can now listen to Fox News articles. America’s financial markets are the strongest and most trusted in the world because they are built on clear rules and fair enforcement.Rather than adhering to these principles, the Biden administration has chased headlines with flashy enforcement actions and enacted opaque rules that stifle progress. But thanks to President Donald Trump’s leadership, America’s financial regulators are returning to the fundamental principles that made our markets the envy of the world.As new technologies reshape the financial services landscape, we must ensure that innovation thrives on American soil and under American law, for ordinary Americans.To…

For more than a decade, cryptocurrencies have been touted as an all-encompassing technology. Unauthorized finance. Open the rail. Global access. Anyone, anywhere with an internet connection.

Fragmentation disproportionately benefits high-ability users while sidelining others, reproducing rather than eliminating inequalities. Complexity has become the new gatekeeper.
